Wood stringer staircase - railing rods

Hey,

today I received the offer from the [GU Treppenbauer (Innen)] for the final treatment of the staircase. Additionally, I thought about using metal for the railing rods ([Angebot dazu folgt noch]). Now I got the idea to play around with the rods a bit. Either standard with wooden rods, or the metal rods for an extra charge, or a mix of both. For example, alternating one wooden rod, one metal rod, and so on. There is also the possibility to mix per rod. For example, wood at the top and bottom with a short metal rod in between, or the other way around, metal at the top and bottom with wood in between.

What do you think? Is such a mix silly, or okay, or...?

Thanks for your feedback!

I like that. I am also considering having the staircase made with wood and stainless steel rods. May I ask what type of wood you are using and how much the staircase costs?

You mean you like pure metal rods or also the mixture wood/metal/wood?

The staircase is multi-colored beech finger-jointed, standard GU staircase, so I don't have a price. But on the website of the executing company, this is priced with the wooden rods at just under 2.8K.

So wood / metal / wood / metal I do not find stylish at all. Balusters made of both rather... But I would still use only one material completely. But that is purely personal preference.

I find it quite good.

Karsten, was that standard for you, or was there an extra charge for the metal rods, if yes, how much, if I may ask?
